Did Our Collective Consciousness Affect Super Bowl XLVI’s Coin Toss?

It’s true. Along with however many other people were enrolled in the Papa John’s rewards program (I guess it’s technically called Papa Rewards).

Basically, the contest went like this: Prior to the Super Bowl, everyone in the rewards program voted on whether the coin toss would be heads or tails. Heads won, so if the coin toss before the Super Bowl also turned up heads, everyone would get a free pizza.

So, yeah, I won a pizza. Whatever. That’s not what I’m interested in.

Our Collective Consciousness

There exists a phenomenon — or, rather, a theory of a phenomenon — in which our consciousnesses are linked.

The collective emotional and psychological response of a group of people becomes intertwined, affected by great events. And, more interestingly, this “collective consciousness” may even change the world around us.
